Okay.. I think I made up my mind. I want a mustard gas betta. I think they're REALLY cool and if I spot one I just might have to get it.. Despite not having a tank. I would put him somewhere! (obviously if I was out to see him I'd be close enough to a place that sold tanks) Anyway, please share your Mustards with me! :) (* an added bonus for me would be bragging rights to my history society friends at school that I would have a Mustard Gas betta!! LOL it would be a bad WW1 joke.. But if you seen the Hitler jokes from meme base you'd think we were heartless anyway)

Haha I do not have a Mustard Gas betta, but I have seen them. Very cool looking, IMO... And I would definitely recommend one if you can find one :) getting a 5 gallon with adjustable heater (even a filter would be nice) would be perfect for your hopefully-new little guy.

There's one store I didn't check yet who always has in fancy fish.. I will not go there even "to look" unless I have stuff for him. As it is, it will take a bit before my stuff comes for Lakitu since I got it online. So, as much as it sucks to wait I wanna do good by Laki first! :D

Very true!! :) All I ever needed for my bettas, was water, a tank, a heater, food variety and tap water conditioner lol. And they love it. I stayed away from plants that had the weird bottoms that they seem to like to try going under.

For plants I just have Moss balls. for now. I checked the PetSmart isle and they were &^%$# OUT of silk plants!!! Can you imagine?!?!? So that will wait another few days. I'll be getting my birthday coupon for Acacia on the 18th (perks of being a petperks member:D ) and I'll go pick some up then ^^

Hmm I have seen moss balls :) I have one live potted plant. Any fake plants are deeply embedded in gravel LOL!! I have this one large shell, with curled and dulled pointed "spike" ends. My young females keep slipping into the shell as a hiding spot xDD

Can go to craft section of a place such as Walmart and get silk plants there.. can use aquarium glue to make them as you like and glue to a small aquarium rock to hold in place. =)

I had a MG in my hand the other day, but put him down over another. He had a light metallic blue body with the edging of his fins a metallic blue, and a very pretty MG coloring inside all of his fins. Couldn't decide between him and another.. I got the other. But if I see him there next time I go later this week, I may get him. =) But I've been searching for a female and I also fell in love with this white one, all white except his tail which was black. Choices!

lol, I wouldn't leave him there!?!!? but that's me! I just became fascinated to the obsessed point last night, I'm glad I was smart enough to not get the white/blue ones.
I bought craft store plants before, 2 had exposed wire so they adorn my bedroom now and I picked the leaves off the safe one and that's the broad leaves that are in his tank now.. They're not tall they merely provide a bit of cover.
